CHAPTER 1177: CHAPTER 1177: YE QINGGE APPEARS

Chapter 1177

Leaving the Holy Temple felt like stepping into another world.

The view was expansive, seemingly endless.

"Boom!"

A scorching torrent swept in, suffocating.

"Hmm?"

Asura frowned, as the entire Holy Mountain was in a freezing state, yet here it was unbearably hot.

Asura walked forward step by step, until suddenly, the path disappeared.

Ahead lay an abyss, accompanied by a rumbling sound, as if something gigantic was rolling.

Asura raised an eyebrow and looked below.

The abyss was crimson, turning faces red; it was filled with molten lava, reminiscent of a volcanic eruption.

Endless red lava rolled like rivers, occasionally surging with heat waves, a fire of extreme temperature that would soon turn any life into ashes upon contact.

Surrounding the area were ancient Primitive Tribe altar structures, with various sculptures and statues.

This was likely the Forbidden Land; probably only the Holy Mountain’s higher-ups could enter.

"This lava certainly plays a role, maintaining some sort of balance within the Holy Mountain," Asura remarked after observing for a while.

Then, Asura began searching around.

Though outside the Holy Temple, there were still many ancient European style buildings.

It seemed

However, most of these buildings here were secret chambers, and Asura searched nearly everywhere without finding Ye Qingge.

Of course, it wasn’t empty; Asura could sense many powerful presences.

Knowing quite some time had passed, Asura decided to leave.

Using Invisibility, Asura easily slipped away.

The Holy Temple remained dim, but at some point, several lamps had been lit inside, improving visibility significantly.

Asura instinctively glanced at the distant throne, instantly freezing in place.

For there, a figure stood on the throne, looming over the world.

A woman!

With jet-black hair cascading like a waterfall, styled in a princess fashion.

A golden gown adorned with gemstones sparkled with striking brilliance.

The crown was especially dazzling!

But her face was hidden behind a heavy golden mask, engraved with various runes, occasionally flashing with mysterious radiance.

The woman wore snake-shaped earrings and wings made of pure gold on her back.

Undoubtedly, the woman on the throne was the Empress.

Though observing the Empress, Asura remained silent, even while invisible.

"Not good, she seems to have noticed me."

Suddenly, Asura’s heart tightened.

For the Empress’s gaze had turned towards him...

With deep blue eyes like sapphires, casting two tangible rays.

Even Asura couldn’t help but shiver; she had undoubtedly discovered him.

Asura intended to leave immediately but was captivated by the Empress’s gaze.

He felt a familiarity, as if he had seen this gaze before.

Could it be...

Suddenly, Asura considered a possibility, breaking into a cold sweat.

"No, I must see the Empress’s true face," Asura’s eyes flashed with resolve.

Swiftly, Asura’s aura transformed, his presence growing domineeringly unmatched.

His eyes quietly morphed, into one blue and one red; blue as deep sea, red as fierce flames.

In the dim setting, Asura’s eyes shone brightly.

His eyes were unhidden, fully revealed, clashing with the Empress’s gaze.

When their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly in the darkness.

"Crack, crack..."

Then, the Empress’s heavy mask started to crumble, eventually falling away to reveal her face.

An exceptionally beautiful face in Asura’s eyes...

"Queen... Queen?"

Asura’s eyes seemed ready to pop out, as if witnessing the most incredible sight.

Despite having anticipated, he was nonetheless deeply shocked upon seeing the Empress’s true appearance.

The Empress was indeed Queen Ye Qingge!

Yet immediately, Asura detected something unusual.

The Empress’s face showed no emotion; she stood as if merely a body.

"Queen?"

Asura called out.

But the Empress remained unchanged, her icy eyes locked onto Asura, as a peculiar wave swept through the Holy Temple, imposing unprecedented pressure on Asura, almost suffocating him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, four people appeared in the Holy Temple, surrounding Asura from four directions.

The nearest, a woman in black, held a thick ancient book.

She swiftly flipped through it, then spoke authoritatively.

"...**&%￥..."

Strange incantations flowed from her mouth, and a sinister wind surged.

Asura’s ears echoed with struggling spirits, chilling him to the core, gradually suppressing him.

"No choice, retreat!"

Asura’s eyes flashed, Invisibility manifesting again, instantly vanishing.

"Not good, he’s escaping!"

The four women Instantly Teleported, instantly converging at the entrance.

"Remarkable!"

Even invisibly, Asura was amazed at their speed, surpassing him to reach the door.

"Buzzing!"

Asura’s eyes, blue and red, suddenly unleashed two formidable invisible forces.

"Watch out for his eyes!"

"Boom, boom!"

The targeted woman scrambled aside.

Yet the power in Asura’s eyes forcefully blasted open the door, vanishing from the Holy Temple in a blink.

Asura fled, pursued by the four women.

In the Holy Temple, the Empress stood silently on the throne.

Her starry eyes strained to see far, her face showing a touch of forlornness.

Her eyes seemed capable of seeing miles away, growing increasingly complex.

Asura sprinted madly, quickly reaching the altar.

The four women relentlessly pursued, closely matching Asura’s speed.

"It’s the Four Great Heavenly Concubines!"
